摘要

Recent political events, in particular the historic international political changes of 1989-1991, suggest that modern information systems and capabilities--as manifested in television, videocameras, facsimile machines, and satellites links--have been major factors in what many take as positive changes in the world. Could they be made even more effective instruments for peace if they were deliberately exploited through institutions specifically designed for the purpose. In the summer of 1990, a RAND-sponsored research project entitled Transnational Institutions to Promote International Peace (INFOPAX) considered this question and its ramifications. This Note describes the trends that motivate the question, identifies a rich landscape of plausible initiatives that institutions might reasonably undertake in hopes of making a positive difference, and suggests needed research. The INFOPAX study was a preliminary survey, and the final answer to this question remains unknown. However, the insights documented here suggest that the future may hold both significant opportunities and novel dangers. Thus, this Note should be of interest to anyone interested in the effect of information upon society and in the feasibility of transnational institutions intended to exploit the power of modern information systems and capabilities for the avoidance and suppression of international conflicts.
